The Middle East in Upheaval: Interpreting and Predicting
The Middle East hosts three civil wars (Libya, Yemen, and Syria) and many insurgencies (Algeria, Sudan, the Sinai, Turkey, Iraq, Iran). It also features high-profile diplomacy (Israeli-Palestinian, Turkey-EU, Iran deal) and massive problems (water, demographics, Islamism and other extremisms). In a tour d'horizon, Daniel Pipes offers background to some of these developments, analyze their significance, and make predictions. In brief: the Islamist surge seems stronger than ever but shows major weaknesses, anarchy advances, Kurdistan emerges, Iran is in a pre-revolutionary state, Turkey goes rogue, Egypt teeters, America recedes, and Israel stands out ever-more as a "villa in the jungle."
